Natalie-You sound like you are right on target with your calorie intake. And with your weight loss. 1 cup and 1 1/2 cups of food isn't bad at all. Actually from reading the main BB that's sounds pretty normal for an RNY person. Does it feel like some days you can eat more, and some days less? Plus - it depends on what kind of food we are eating, right? Some passes thru faster, so we can eat more. I bet ya if you cooked a chicken breast and chopped it to 1 1/2 cups, you'd have lot's of trouble!!! I am going to try that and see how much solid food I can eat. Please don't beat yourself up. We all have such an intense fear of failure, because of our history with weight and food and diets. Just know you are not alone.

You are so sweet. Thank you! I feel better after realizing that we are all in the same boat. You are right, I can eat more of something if it's lighter or liquid-based. This whole process is so difficult psychologically. Thank goodness we can lean on each other.
